LIFTMAN TO BARONET
Dick Wolseley, a lift attendant, of Waterloo, lowa (U.S.A.), will leave for England shortly as Sir Reginald Beatty Wolseley, the tenth baronet. Miss Marian Elizabeth Baker, of Brixham, Devon, England, arrived in Waterloo seeking the tenth baronet, and the only person of the name of Wolseley in Waterloo was a liftman, according to a report in the Daily Chronicle.
The story told by Miss Baker was that Wolseley's mother died last November, and that she had requested that her son be found and brought back to England as his elder brothers were dead and he was heir to the title. Wolseley replied that he left England 33 years ago to make his fortune in the United States. Wolseley and his newly-found friend were married. Now they are leaving for England. Sir Reginald succeeded his cousin, Sir Capel Charles Wolseley, in 1923. He was born in 1872, the son of the late Cadwallader Brooke Wolseley, M.D. The widow of the 9th baronet is the daughter of the late Colonel William Wallingford Knollys, and a niece of the first Viscount Knollys. She is honorary secretary of the Ladies' Park Club, Parkside, Knightsbridge, S.W.
